The Forgotten Cars Thread

[MisterWaffles]

This is so strange! I live in North America. I haven't seen anyone talk about this car in the forums before, I never see them out, I've never seen any advertising for it, it doesn't even have a proper Wikipedia article and when I post about it suddenly I hear tonnes of story's about how the Slingshot is actually everywhere.

I haven't seen a first-gen Neon in the wild for almost a decade.

Exactly 10 years for me. My Aunt(RIP), had a green '95 2-door, that my Mother passed down to her.

Awesome car. Even with the 3-spd auto. Did NY-Orlando 3x with no problems.

Those would be four motorcycle inspired cars.

 

[MisterWaffles]

What's your angle? I can't tell what you want.

 

[Obelisk]

My neighbor has a Slingshot. I've gotta go get a pic of it soon.

I saw one a couple of weeks ago, it was oddly enough in good shape.

Huh?

I'm looking to buy an FC and all I can find that are decent and not super expensive are convertibles. And I hate convertibles.

I live less than 1/4 mile from a Polaris dealer. There were two Slingshots on the lot last summer. I saw someone test driving one on my road about 3 times.

You're probably not looking well enough because I'm actually finding plenty of liftback FC3Ss that are decently priced.

Just saying, you both live a considerable distance away from each other.

I know that he lives in Massachusetts. I just checked out some listings of FC3Ss and there are some that are decently priced.

Then again there comes the question of what part of that state does he live in.

Seriously good chance that these are outnumbered by their hearse counterparts.

I could see it being forgotten in some areas, but where I live, they pop up as soon as it's summer. They're everywhere near the beach.


Saw one of these some time ago. The Toyota Paseo Convertible. (photo from a google search)

Edit: Here's the one I saw during summer of last year.

Speaking of old British estates you'd rather not be reminded of:

Where are you looking? I'm checking craigslist and Ebay and can't find much. I'm on the south shore.

I checked out the massa craigslist the other day and found an FC liftback for about 3k and another for 2.5k. I don't remember the place it is in though.

Swap everything from the Lotus into one of those.

If you mean that the Morgan is too old, then you must be thinking of the Morgan F-Series. I'm thinking of the 2012-Present Morgan trike. The most recent edition with the tacky RAF stickers and bulletholes. Here's one without that tacky stuff.

Also, on topic for this thread, does anyone remember the Morgan EV3 Electric Trike from a few years back? Did they even produce this one?

Wasn't that just an EB110 minus the AWD?

Interesting how Hot Wheels made a model of this. Pretty much the only way I learned about it.

Tacoma X-Runner is definitely a forgotten vehicle.

Never even realized they did a facelift near the end of it's life in 2013.

Edit: Also forgot about the predecessor. The Tacoma S-Runner.

 

[homeforsummer]

That generation was supposed to be fairly decent, I believe. Probably because so much of it was a Honda.

Fairly handsome, too. Bit too "Brexit" though.

Also, on topic for this thread, does anyone remember the Morgan EV3 Electric Trike from a few years back? Did they even produce this one?

I believe there are still plans to produce it.

I first saw the B Engineering Edonis in a book and I think there is only 21 in the world. I think hot wheels is the only one to make a modle of it.

That wasn't the only model...

Whatever happened to the SS Impalas I used to see all the time when I was a kid.

Yep, the Nissan MID4.
